Sculptors’ Drawings and Works on Paper

SPONSOR’S FOREWORD C
hoosing a favourite art work from any exhibition always tests my ability to assess my emotions coherently and for an exhibition of such breadth and scope as this, I find it almost impossible. However having had the special opportunity to have a sneak preview of all the works brought together here there is one that particularly appeals. It is an unusually small, modest work by monumental heavyweight sculptor Richard Serra. It appeals because whilst his enormous sculptures shout post-industrial revolution this drawing is timeless, direct and ultimately personal. Sculptors’ Drawings and Works on Paper offers us all a unique and intimate insight into the creative mind of the artists. Some of the works show a spontaneity that many of us might envy, others the intricate and careful planning that goes on behind the scenes as part of the process of creating both large and small scale sculptures. The exhibition highlights the diversity of a genre which similarly reflects our diverse approach to property here at Henderson Global Investors. In fact, for me, there are many parallels to draw between this creative world and the property world in which we ourselves operate. Each bring with it an element of passion, talent, experience and most importantly a conviction in design and decision making. In particular, the King’s Cross area is a market which excites us at the moment and with so much development and creative buzz currently centred on King’s Cross, of which we are a significant part, we are delighted to be supporting Pangolin London and Kings Place Gallery. For the past four years these galleries have pioneered an impressive programme of art and sculpture exhibitions to the area. We hope that the exhibition receives the attention it deserves and Henderson Global Investors is honoured to support this catalogue, which will provide a lasting testament to this very special exhibition.

rawings by sculptors generally don’t receive the acknowledgement and appreciation of their more celebrated three dimensional counterparts. Yet there is an intimacy and immediacy of sharing an artist’s thought process that only sketches or drawings can convey. The relevance of drawing to most sculptors is of such importance that it is surprising there aren’t more exhibitions devoted to the genre. This exhibition is an attempt to portray the huge variety of images and means sculptors use to explore the territory between ideas and reality. With an exhibition of this scope it is impossible to be fully representative and this selection should therefore be seen as a celebration of the diversity of drawing and an illuminating insight into the very nature of sculptural practice. The range of media employed by sculptors to draw with is vast but seems to be centred on pencil, charcoal or pen on paper which of course enables us to make comparisons between artists whose sculptures may be completely different. The age old skills of drawing objectively, that take years of practice to hone into one of the building blocks of being a visual artist, are still in evidence here despite a decline in traditional drawing lessons at art-school; this is, I believe, because drawing remains a powerful and efficient means of communicating or exploring visual ideas. Indeed, sometimes, a crude sketch lacking in virtuosic skill is closer to the original thought; an impulse to record a concept unselfconsciously and directly. Drawing for its own sake, to create an autonomous image without any reference to an object is a frequent pursuit of sculptors. The relative ease of creating an image on paper and the release it provides from the physicality of making sculpture is a seductive means of expression by utilising the limitations of the medium to its’ own aesthetic advantage. For instance, Ann Christopher’s drawings (p.64) bear no direct relation to her sculptures and are made to be seen entirely on their own terms. Not all drawings are made for their own sake or to work out a way of making a threedimensional piece. Images of completed sculptures are another aspect of this exhibition. Sometimes it is as simple as recording the sculpture. Drawing and re-drawing an image elaborates on a theme, refines the image and most importantly continues the activity of thinking visually, adding to the intellectual development after an intuitive making process. The period immediately following the realisation of a sculpture is often reflective, a time for absorbing the impact the forms create and drawings of new sculptures are a means of exploring and assessing this effect. Many of Lynn Chadwick’s drawings were made in this manner. Sculptors are inherently interested in process and therefore frequently attracted to print-making. The subtle fusion of image and technique can lead to fresh ideas. The reversal of an image that most print-making entails is akin to the mould-making process that sculptors are familiar with. Playing with the duality of positive and negative, adding line, tone even colour in separate layers brings a technical excitement

to the creation of two dimensional works. Sculptors’ prints are often very experimental alloying their familiarity with the processes of making sculpture to those of printing. Naum Gabo, whose Opus 5 is exhibited here (p.95), said that: ‘Very soon I discovered that making a woodcut is like cutting a bas-relief – and that is home.’ Annotating drawings has long been used to add verbal information to the visual; Damien Hirst’s drawings often feature the title of the piece as well as its materials and method of construction thus adding to the actuality of the concept; fleshing it out prior to its fabrication. Observational drawing is a natural part of an inquisitive visual mind and even more so when the main concern of the artist is constructing objects. To be able to make sculptures, it is important to know how things work, and in this sense drawing is a way of looking or seeing. Dissecting something, so to speak, with a pencil whether plant, animal, human or object is an exercise of intense scrutiny, analysis and interpretation. Forms that owe their existence to the function they perform are of particular interest to the sculptor. Jonathan Kingdon’s anatomical drawings are an obsessive quest for knowing his subject. Knowledge learnt through this personal study can in turn provide the basis for a wide range of interpretation, frequently differing widely from the original research, and explains why sculptors’ drawings can vary enormously from their three-dimensional work. The very act of translating an object into two dimensions creates new shapes from which unexpected forms can emerge. In the quest for new forms, especially in the abstract world of non-mimetic sculpture, it is much easier to draw than manipulate weighty materials. Mark-making or drawing in a subconscious, autonomous or accidental manner can be a fruitful way of generating shapes. This tendency to tap into our instinct to evolve meaningful form out of random shape is a liberating activity which when combined with an individual graphic language

becomes a significant part of many sculptors output. It is a method of trying to reach an emotional or visceral core from which to create vital form. Barbara Hepworth talks about this way of working: “I rarely draw what I see, I draw what I feel in my body.” Drawing onto a found or existing object must be one of the most ancient routes into making sculpture. Palaeolithic artists, with minimal intrusion of line engraved into bone or ivory, created amazing images. They also elaborated existing lumps or bosses on cave walls with a few appropriately placed lines magically transforming them into images of bison or other animals. Inscribing into the surfaces of his sculpture is a major component of Jon Buck’s work and this in turn has affected his graphic work. Using tools and sandpaper to carve into thin card he etches the surface before drawing with charcoal and Conte. This lends a sculptural density to the flat image. Sculptors use widely differing means to achieve a rich dense textural surface, scratching through wet gesso, sticking many layers of paper together or cutting them out, adding protruding elements and using wax or oil resists, are just a few of the techniques used to bring the drawing and sculpture closer together. This sensitivity for surface and texture and a real feel for form and space sets sculptors’ drawing apart from other visual artists. The use of novel materials to create a drawing is not just about being different. Sarah Lucas’ use of cigarettes to create her outline is the reason both conceptually and poetically for the drawing, and also allies the work directly to her sculpture. The movement of objects actually travelling through space has concerned many sculptors; kinetic constructivists like George Rickey (p. 193) and Lynn Chadwick made mobiles for which drawings were essential in either their construction or the working out of volumes, weights and spaces for the interaction of separate elements. Their carefully engineered constructions and drawings allude to the delicacy and precision necessary for their realisation. Implied movement in static sculpture is a separate concern altogether. Imparting the sense of energy and power of figures or animals as they run, dance or leap depends on acuity of drawing and manipulation of form. Jonathan Kenworthy’s drawings, often no

more than a simple line and a few brush-marks, are a personal calligraphy of motion that are echoed in the squeezed clay and thumb-drags invigorating his sculptures. The use of the computer as a tool for drawing is becoming increasingly common as a way of visualising form. Bruce Beasley works out his complex pyritic sculptures by manipulating virtual versions of them on the computer screen. Print-outs of these progressions make the process visible and serve the same function that sketch book drawings perform for other sculptors. The marks on paper sculptors make become their individual shorthand for reading equivalent form in space. Eduardo Chillida describes drawing as “laying down boundaries and chaining down the space as it tries to escape” and many sculptors find other visual analogies for the volume their sculpture inhabits. The wonderful diversity of image in this exhibition and the varied means of their creation is a testament to the sheer inventiveness and curiosity of sculptors and their urgent need to explore ideas in a tangible way. Our pleasure is sharing the secret creative world of the sculptor’s studio through their sketches, drawings and prints which bring a new dimension to the three dimensions inherent in their sculptures. I am delighted that we have managed, through the generosity and enthusiasm of the sculptors, their estates, galleries, and private collectors, to gather at Kings Place such a feast of images. It is a rare treat to see such an abundance of drawings all at once and also a privilege, in this age so divorced from the hand of the maker, to be able to celebrate the creative essence of our three dimensional culture.

ne of the most spine-tingling drawings as far as I am concerned, is ostensibly one of the humblest: a small rectangular shape executed in pen and brown ink, inscribed with a few symbols and words. The author of this mundane object was Michelangelo around 1520, when he was working on the Medici family tombs in the New Sacristy of San Lorenzo in Florence, giving instructions to quarrymen concerning the shape and size of a block of marble. The sheet has been part of the British Museum’s collection since 1993, passing through the hands of several collectors and dealers since it left the Buonarotti family in 1836. One of these was the novelist and playwright Stefan Zweig (1881-1942), a passionate collector of literary, historical and musical autograph manuscripts. Michelangelo’s drawing is the sculptor’s ‘signature’ in every sense, redolent of both practicality and genius, which has its own magic alongside far grander compositions. Drawing was central to all aspects of Michelangelo’s work, his exhortation to an assistant to ‘draw Antonio draw Antonio, draw and don’t waste time’, echoing Cennino Cennini’s in The Craftsman’s Handbook (1437): ‘Do not fail, as you go on, to draw something every day, for no matter how little it is it will be well worth while, and will do you a world of good.’ Rodin who left 7,000 drawings in his studio when he died in 1917, certainly heeded this advice. In 1875 he had set out for Italy on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of Michelangelo’s birth to study the Medici tombs in Florence, subsequently claiming that ‘my liberation from academicism was via Michelangelo’. The same imperative to graphic composition as both private and public expression has propelled many others from Henry Moore, Louise Bourgeois, David Smith and Joseph Beuys to Antony Gormley, to name but a few. Yet the very attempt to categorise ‘sculptors’ drawings’ is one that most artists who make sculpture – an ever more elastic term in itself – would reject. The phrase implies a trajectory akin to the Aristotelian theory of causality from the material cause of the substance, to the maker as the efficient cause, to the formal one of the finished design and then the final effect of the deliberately conceived and executed object of desire, which in this context would be expected to be a three-dimensional object. The real relationship between drawings in whatever medium they may be executed, and actual objects, is much less deterministic in most contemporary artists’ practice. Lee Tribe’s drawing Sculpture I Will Never Make #31 ‘Benny’s Boy’ serves to remind us of this disconnect. Phyllida Barlow has spoken of her drawing ‘as a relaxed activity compared to the heavy work of making sculpture. The marks on the paper attempt to form
13
themselves into makeable objects but they are objects which have no reality as regards technical problems and material. The drawings provide the clues as to what I should make – they are not reproductions on paper of finished sculptures.’ Nigel Hall sees his drawings ‘as works complete in themselves; not as preliminaries toward sculpture and not referring to spatial concerns found in the sculptures.’ To illustrate yet another approach, Richard Serra never makes drawings ‘to depict, illustrate, or diagram existing works’ or as studies for sculpture: ‘The shapes in paper drawings originate in a glimpse of a volume, a detail, an edge, a weight. Drawing in that sense amounts to an index of structures I have built.’ The veritable cornucopia of work in this exhibition offers a glimpse of any number of strategies of graphic expression from artists whose ‘sculpture’ may be far removed from the traditional notion of a carved, modelled or welded artefact. Noble and Webster’s artful arrangements of the detritus of modern life could not be further from the academy, but humanity can be referenced through objects as well as in person. Humanity in person appears as the evolutionary couple in their drawing overleaf To the End of All Things I (1996) which relates to a resin and fibreglass sculpture of the same date, The New Barbarians. Damien Hirst’s The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, the tiger shark in a tank commissioned by Charles Saatchi in 1991, became the poster image for Britart and the ‘shock of the new’ in the 1990s; with the hindsight of twenty years, few now would query that the work should be classed as ‘sculpture’. Sometimes the drawing appears counter-intuitive in relation to the public aspect of the artist’s reputation: Anthony Caro, who more than anyone else changed the face of British sculpture in the third quarter of the twentieth century with his abstract ‘industrial ordnance’, returned to figurative drawing in the 1980s. Working primarily for his own

satisfaction, he again drew from life as he once had had to do in his student days and under the tutelage of Henry Moore in the 1950s. As well as tales of the unexpected, there are those artists whose drawings bespeak the sculptors’ interest in mass, volume, architectural form and movement: John Maine (p.140) and William Pye (p.186); constructivists such as George Rickey (p.193), the pictorial geometry of Michael Kenny (p.124) and the study of the figure in movement by Ed Smith that reminds us of how important the legacy of Rodin and Degas continues to be. The Michelangelo drawing with which I began is a chance survivor, whereas the work shown in this exhibition was on the whole made with a less ephemeral intent. The medium allows for a freedom which cannot readily be enjoyed in the fabrication of most sculpture, however unorthodox the materials and the manufacture of that work may be. David Smith was an often obsessive draughtsman on paper, as well as picking up on Picasso and Giacometti’s influence to use sculpture to ‘draw’ in space with early work such as Steel Drawing I, 1945 (Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden Washington D.C.), Star Cage, 1950 (Univeristy Art Museum, University of Minnesota) and Hudson River Landscape, 1951 (Whitney Museum, New York). Smith’s observations in 1959 on artistic expression were dignified by the experience of someone who understood every part of the chain of causation, but also valued the elusive qualities that cohere to become an artist’s identity or autograph. Those qualities come through in the drawings here, just as much as they do in Michelangelo’s modest but purposeful sketch. Art has its tradition, but it is a visual heritage. The artist’s language is the memory from sight. Art is made from dreams, and visions, and things not known, and least of all from things that can be said. It comes from inside of who you are when you face yourself. It is an inner declaration of purpose, it is a factor which determines [an] artist[‘s] identity. david smith

The process of drawing is, before all else, the process of putting the visual intelligence into action, the very mechanics of visual thought. Unlike painting and sculpture it is the process by which the artist makes clear to himself, and not to the spectator, what he is doing. It is a soliloquy before it becomes communication. michael ayrton 30

In the sculpture studio a continual to-ing and fro-ing takes place between the student’s place of work and the model. His work is not a pure response to visual experience from a single viewpoint, he is building with what he learns in other ways as well as from what he sees, and sculpture is quite rightly regarded as much more than the results of the optical experience. In a quasi-objective sense this is often said to give the sculptor certain advantages, but I think there are also dangers. For art is artificial, and there is often in sculpture study a danger of the student’s losing sight of this fact. In this connection drawing is most valuable. It is furthest from my thoughts, of course to suggest that drawing should be regarded solely as a means to an end, for drawing is a great art in its own right, but technically, drawing involves only a sheet of white paper and a pencil, and this means that the student is involved in the translation of a three dimensional experience into a two dimensional conception – an activity in which dimensional imitation plays no part. reg butler

My drawings are works in their own right, as important to me as my sculptures. Sometimes I draw, sometimes I make sculpture but rarely at the same time, I alternate between making series of drawings and series of sculptures. Drawing to me is the most personal form of creativity, the direct link to ones inner self, it is certainly the most instinctive art form, drawing is about freedom. ann christopher

…my Mum’s quite artistic…she always used to, like, make me draw. I remember I used to say: ‘I’m bored, what can I draw?’ And she used to go mad with me: ‘What d’you mean, you’re bored?’ And she’d come out with these lists. I remember grabbing little bits of paper and drawing stuff, and when I’d say I’d run out of paper she’d come and sellotape an extra bit on here, and when that was full she’d Sellotape another extra bit on here… damien hirst 112

From my sketches, I develop my thoughts, changing and culling themes, distilling ideas to keep them as fresh and direct as I can. Drawing is the most immediate line of creation. The greater the ability to draw, the more telling the impact and interpretation of a thought can be. jonathan kenworthy
Drawing can be employed as a wordless questioning of form; the pencil seeks to extract from the complex whole some limited, coherent pattern that our eyes and mind can grasp. jonathan kingdon

Drawing for me has always been an autonomous activity – I’ve done it since I was a kid and its always been a way of seeing. For me seeing is a way to think so I’ve always made drawings but I don’t depict or illustrate my sculpture and I don’t do anecdotal drawings or representational drawings, it’s a separate body of work completely. richard serra 202

Many of my first sculptures were made not from direct observation of the figure, but from careful drawings from the model in the life class at the Ruskin School. This gave me room to invent and imagine, and allowed me not to be intimidated by the physical, three-dimensional fact of the model’s presence. Then I realized that sculpture could be an object rather than a replication of the human figure, and for several years I virtually stopped drawing. The sculpture was to be complete in itself without reference to the outside world. But by the late 60s I knew I was missing something, that making could not be divorced from seeing. In the Shuttler and Cat’s Cradle sculptures I rediscovered the pleasures of looking, of exploring the endless uncertainties of near and far, of closed and open, of continuously changing configurations. In effect, the sculptures had become drawings. Over the course of the 70s the work became more frontal, more frankly concerned with articulating the onlooker’s visual field. The size of these pieces demanded more planning before being realized in steel, and I started to draw them, actual size, in charcoal, on the wall first and then on paper which I found in New York on rolls 6 feet by 30. I found this was not just a useful and practical exercise, of making decisions on paper before committing to a permanent material (actually I often made a full-scale model in plywood before constructing in steel) --- but also the act of working on such a large scale, the feel of charcoal and the freedom to make decisions unconstrained by gravity or engineering, this opened up the possibilities of drawing as imagining that were a revelation. Drawing became something physical, related to my size and reach, and to touch. The directness of the act encouraged me to believe that sculpture itself could be more like this, that instead of the laborious process of realizing an idea through planning and construction, I could be working directly and intuitively in the material itself. And so I started to work in plaster, at first over crude wooden armatures. For a while I stopped drawing, and when I resumed, drawing became an activity parallel to modeling, a way of imagining in charcoal on a scale related to my body. This has continued to the present, I go through intense periods of drawing between periods of working on sculpture, but rarely at the same time. Modeling in plaster inevitably led me back to the human figure and to try and invent a new way of representing it. This would be impossible without a better understanding of the sculpture of the past, and to that end drawing is for me best way of achieving that understanding. So whenever I go to a museum I try to remember to take a sketchbook, and spend some time with Rodin, Degas, or some anonymous Asian sculptor. The only real way to look at sculpture is to draw it.
